I've been having a fluid leak for some time from the gearbox area so I decided to investigate. It turned out that I was losing the fluid for the EGS gearbox actuator (the bit that does the gearchanges). I traced the problem to a leaking return hose which is quite a common problem on the cars. It was replaced with a new one and it seems to have cured the leaking once I'd rectified an upside down seal for the fluid reservoir cap which I'd done when I topped up the actuator fluid prior to doing this job. It was an absolute pig of a job but I got there on the end.
I've had comments on other videos about not capturing every turn of every nut and bolt so I videoed as mush as possible and sped up the boring bits. I also show off my brand new Halfords axle stands.
PLEASE NOTE: I'm just a DIY mechanic. I try to do things correctly but sometimes I have to manage with what I have. Please treat this video as a "how-I-did-it" rather than a "how-to".
